The US,out of blue,discloses that there are its troops in Taiwan.
Everybody knows that it is in contravention of all international norms and convention.All the more so as the US has been always publicly declared that it will subscribe to 'One China' policy.
But what makes the US so nervous today?
This is the question we should try answer on a priority basis.
Because in finding that answer lies the path that China should take in the immediate future.
Do the inputs from New Delhi make the US this nervous?
We need to put significant resources to find answer to this question.
The world is in a crisis.So,we need not be verbose here.Let's go straight to the possible steps that might be taken up by China immediately.
1) Some people might think that we might come to face to face with some kind of 'Cuban missile crisis'.To my mind,we should avoid going to that direction.
2) Some people might also look at the trillions of dollars worth of US Treasury bonds in China's custody.I also think that the option of leveraging the Treasury bonds should not be considered as a viable one.
3) To my mind,China should start to look out for a strategic place to station its combat troops on a long term basis.The principle guiding this deployment should run like this--China needs oil for its economy to function.Most of the oil is imported. China needs guaranteed route for the minimum import of oil.The present world situation necessitates the securing this guaranteed route by our own troops on the ground.
Do we find such a strategic place somewhere in the vicinity of Bangladesh?
If china have such a contingency plan, the US has just handed out the opportunity on a silver platter.
We should not also forget the following--
If The US is nervous,it is advantage China now.
